Open investment architecture provides for unbiased fund selection
Among the most frequent concerns we hear from prospective clients centers around the implied bias in their current provider’s investment line-up. Often, sponsors feel pushed into choosing certain investment options that they otherwise would not choose, in an effort to lower plan administrative costs.
You can tap into a large universe of mutual funds, offering more than 4,000 funds and 40,000 share classes, available through the institutional brokerage platforms** we make available to you.
Because we don’t offer proprietary investment products, there is no requirement for certain fund families to be used on our platform.
- Plan investment options span the risk/reward spectrum, representing:
- Full range of asset classes (money market, stocks, bonds)
- Breadth of investment styles (including income, value, growth, global and international)
- Lifestyle funds
- Tactical and strategic asset allocation funds
- Target maturity funds
*Mutual funds are sold by prospectus. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds before investing.
